Universally Speaking

So today I betrayed the Walt Disney company and I went to Universal Islands of Adventure. Man was it ever fun! I went with Alex (my roommate), Rick and his roomie Kevin. Right off the bat we went to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and went on the Forbidden Journey. Now I was really worried that I wasn't going to be able to ride any rides since I'm on the bigger side of life and I know Universal doesn't cater much to the larger crowd. But I got on! First they take you through the castle and you get to see everything and it's sooo neat. then you get on the ride it was a tight squeeze but definitaly worth it! Our line was probably a good 45 minutes but because Alex hadn't met Rick or Kevin before and I hadn't met Kevin before we were able to talk a lot get to know each other and just overall have a good time.
Then we went to the wand shop which was really cool. I didn't buy a wand but was definitaly tempted to. Throughout the day we also went on two of the water rides- Popeye and Jurassic Park the third water ride Dudley was closed. I went on the Hulk which is probably my second favourite coaster of all time now! It's amazing I'm soooo glad I talked myself onto going on it. We also went on Dueling Dragons.
Originally when we got in line for it (only a 10min wait) it was sunny and nice out. When we got on the ride it was POURING rain it was soo intense and amazing in the pouring rain. The best part was we had just managed to get dry from the water rides. We went to go on it again because it was soooo much fun but they had to shut it down temporarily due to the weather. We then decided to head home as it was 4 and none of us had really gotten much sleep especially Rick who didn't get any.
Today was definitaly one of the best days I've had while down here. It may of poured rain but I went on coaster I never thought I'd ever go on and overall just had a good time with some good people.
Now I'm ready to pass out and watch some T.V

But just to give you a small update like always work is fun and I love it! I had a good day yesterday as well on my other day off it rained most of the day but I treated myself to a movie and went to Mk, DTD, Contemporary, Port Orleans. So a few errands and some fun as I pin traded along the way and managed to get some character pictures.
